Married a Secret Billionaire

The ringing in Lina’s ears persisted, distracting her as she stared blankly at the ceiling.

Clutching the sheet tightly, she felt her heart ache, replaying the disturbing events in her mind. Violet had framed her, using a drug-laced handkerchief to incapacitate her.

The realization left her in disbelief and filled her with anger.

Tears welled up in Lina’s eyes, falling silently into the pillow as the weight of the situation overwhelmed her. Sleep eluded her that night.

She received calls from her family and Gia, but she couldn’t bring herself to reveal the truth. Instead, she put on a brave face, assuring them that everything was fine and attributing her absence to exhaustion and a minor cold.

When Lina finally spoke to Gia, her voice trembled with emotions. Unable to contain herself any longer, she confided in her friend, pouring out the painful details of what had happened.

“That’s ridiculous!” Gia was roaring. “Don’t let Violet go!”

Lina forced a smile. How should she “not let her go”? Should she report it to the police?

Frankly, she was scared. After all, it was something shady. If everyone found out, she would be troubled by rumors forever.

However, Lina would feel injustice if she did not.

“Lina, shouldn’t you find out… Who was the man who harassed you?” asked Gia.

“I…” Lina bit her lip. “I don’t know.”

“Then who sent you to the hospital?” asked Gia.

Lina was stunned. ‘That’s right! How did I end up at the hospital? Did someone from the hotel send me?’

However, if the hotel staff had found out that she had been ***ually harassed, they would have definitely reported it to the police before sending her to the hospital.

The police never came, and from what the two nurses had said, her “boyfriend” had sent her there.
